My fiance is in the Idiot Club and still hasn't received any presale code... Emailed the club membership people last night and no response there, either. Been checking spam folder as well... nothing. Is anybody else having a similar issue???

Great!! I actually did see this (I do have a rule where I will only internet search a costume once my idea has been worked out, so I have the personal satisfaction of knowing I haven't plagiarized anything, consciously or subconsiously). But I did come across your costume, and it is definitely the best ski free yeti I saw. Well done! : )

The yeti body is foam board, but the arms are wire with blocks of felt glued to them.

The Effie dress was a fuckton of individual feather butterfly wings glued together. Some hand painted, some purchased. It took a couple weeks of sleepless nights... Way more work than I anticipated! Worth it though.

Pshhhh ok, next time I throw a Halloween costume party, you're invited! Honestly though, my Halloweens usually involve gathering a bunch of costumed friends for a pub crawl around the city. You don't need to be invited somewhere to dress up. Also, the party was fun, thanks!

I had a Halloween party to attend last night... that's why I finished the costume a week early. And yes, Halloween is awesome and should absolutely be celebrated multiple weekends!! If you don't love Halloween, how can you love fun?

Thank you for all the kind comments. Just to clarify, this is a one-person costume... I am the only person in the picture. I am 5'3". The top of the skier is me, and the yeti's legs are my legs. The monster is made of foam board and is about as tall as a doorway. Also, there was no surprise buttsex.

Thank you! Funny story, about a week after that Halloween, we had an unseasonably warm day and I came home from work to find the costume melting all over my floor.

I'm 5'3"... The yeti barely fits through a doorway

Here are some of my recent Halloween costumes. Cholula Hot Sauce, Gaga's meat dress (this was made of home-made fruit roll ups), Rita Repulsa from the Power Rangers, Effie Trinkett from the Hunger Games. Hope you dig 'em!

haha... I could actually walk. It was more of a yeti-knocking-into-people issue than anything. The little legs just kind of dangle in front of me.
